DreamLeague Season 22: Teams

DreamLeague S22 Qualified Teams

DreamLeague S22 has invited four teams with the highest EPT points from last year (Gaimin Gladiators, BetBoom Team, XTreme Gaming, and Team Liquid). Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid dominated the scene in 2023, scoring massive amounts of EPL points. BetBoom Team, particularly, saw success at DreamLeague S21 and ESL One Kuala Lumpur. Xtreme Gaming, interestingly, has been invited due to a mass migration of Azure Ray's players into their ranks.

The remaining twelve teams fought hardcore through their regional Closed and Open Qualifiers in January 2024 to earn their slot in DreamLeague S22.

Seven competitive regions are involved, with three teams from Western Europe and Eastern Europe, two from China, and one each from South America, North America, Southeast Asia, and MENA.
